Modern hockey fields, crafted to meet the highest standards of play, are typically made using advanced artificial turf. Shade Sports specializes in constructing these fields, offering three main types of turf: water-based, sand-dressed, and sand-filled. Each type of turf is carefully selected based on the specific needs of the field, whether it’s for international competitions or local play. Beneath the playing surface, a shock pad may be installed above the sub-base, providing critical shock absorption that enhances player comfort and safety.

 The construction process is meticulous, starting with a perfectly smooth and level base layer of asphalt or concrete, ensuring the field’s integrity and longevity. Building a hockey field that meets FIH (International Hockey Federation) standards is a complex and precise endeavor, requiring collaboration with industry specialists and strict adherence to guidelines. At Shade Sports, we bring expertise and precision to every project, ensuring that your hockey field is built to the highest international standards.
